General Information
Overview
EN 14798:2005 is a CEN (European) standard that specifies dimensional and material requirements for hand-held crown bottle openers of the aperture type designed for 26 mm crown closures. It ensures compatibility with the glass bottle finishes defined in EN 14634 and EN 14635, and sets safety and marking requirements to support reliable, repeatable removal of crown caps without damaging bottles.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope
- Applies to hand-held aperture-type crown openers for 26 mm crown closures (to suit finishes in EN 14634 and EN 14635).
- Dimensions
- Mandatory dimensions for the opening space are defined (see figures in the standard). The example shape is illustrative; the specified opening-space dimensions are obligatory.
- Design must allow the crown skirt to spread freely when removed and ensure the lever edge does not protrude into the opening space.
- Use and engagement
- The lever edge must contact at least two corrugations of the crown skirt.
- The point of leverage on the opener top shall coincide with the centre of the crown closure when engaged.
- When engaged, the lever edge must not contact the bottle.
- Not intended for use on twist crowns - a warning plus a recommended symbol is required.
- Material and hardness
- Material must have a modulus of elasticity > 200 kN/mm² (steel is noted as suitable).
- Contact areas shall have a minimum hardness of 490 HV5, measured per EN ISO 6507-1 (Vickers hardness test).
- Marking
- Permanent warning: DO NOT USE ON TWIST CROWN CAPS
- Character height: minimum 3 mm; suggested placement illustrated in the standard.
Applications and who uses this standard
EN 14798 is used by:
- Opener manufacturers for design and production to ensure dimensional compatibility and durability.
- Packaging and bottling engineers to confirm tool compatibility with 26 mm crown finishes.
- Quality, compliance and procurement teams to specify accepted openers and verify material/hardness requirements.
- Safety and labeling teams to apply the required warnings and symbols.
- Standards bodies and testing labs for conformity checks (hardness testing via EN ISO 6507-1).
Practical uses include product design, supplier specifications, incoming inspection criteria, and safety labeling for manual bottle-opening tools.
